This product skyrocketed to the top of my mascara musts. The 8x bigger, smoother mascara, adds length instantly, making this the great mascara. Additionally, it separates the lash which is a big must, when it comes to mascaras for me. The patented supersonic brush glides on smoothly, in a single stroke leaving your lashes voluminous with no smudging or clumping.

This is my go to when I don't have time to do my eyebrows. This quick fix, helps to treat and tame those sparse areas of your brows. It is a double ended tool, where one side has a vitamin infused formula that helps to treat the brows. The other end, is a wonderful fiber enhanced brow mascara that helps to add color, shape and fill in the brow.

I’ve been loving this eyeliner for years. This is my old faithful, when I want to wear a liquid eyeliner. I love the applicator and the handle, reminds me of a writing with a felt tip marker. The felt tip, helps to make this fool proof, so it works well for those just starting to dabble with liquid eyeliner.

This is my everyday foundation. It's been in my beauty arsenal for years, as it far out ranks all other brands for me, still to this day. This foundation doesn’t sit in your pores, while gliding on smoothly, giving you that airbrushed finish.

This bronzer is my go to when I am contouring my face. I like the color, it’s not too dark and has more of an ashy tone, than orange, which is key when contouring. The size is great, lasting forever, plus with an SPF of 15, you see why it is an icon!

A sweet exfoliator that removes the dry skin from your lips, leaving them kissably soft! Plus this product is infused with Vitamin E, Avocado, Grape, Jojoba Oils and Shea Butter. I can't believe it only cost $3. It’s better than a lot of specialty products out there.

I’ve been using these hypo-allergenic wipes for years before they became a big fad. These fragrance free wipes enable you to remove all of your makeup, including waterproof mascara and eyeliner. They also come in handy if I have fallout from a shadow. Bonus: I've found these at Target in a double pack box, where each one averages less than $6.99.

This stuff is amazing! The name fits perfect as this e.l.f product does zap your zits away! For only a $1, I keep one these everywhere! Application is wonderful too, as it has a roll-on applicator that smooths on easily! Oh, let's not forget about the salicylic acid which is amazing for shrinking the blood vessels, hence reducing inflammation & redness!

Disclaimer:This is a sponsored post on behalf of Billion Dollar Brows & Kohls.Views expressed were not influenced in
anyway.

This month I wanted to bring to you some great products that are used specifically for the eyebrows. And today is going to be the first post in my "BOW TO THE BROW" Series. I have been approached by a few companies to review some of their eyebrow products and wanted to share them with you.

However, before I get into the products, I wanted to first touch on the importance of a great eyebrow. Similar to a great frame that can take an ordinary picture to a different level. I view
your eyebrows as such. Great looking eyebrows can form a frame around your eyes
taking them from Boring Brow to Brow-tastic in a matter of minutes.

The first product in this series is a Kohl's exclusive, by Billion Dollar Brows. This best sellers kit is great as it has most everything you need in one kit, making it an economical purchase! For only $34.99 you get an universal brow pencil, brow gel, smudge brush and a dual highlighter!

How To: I always use the eyebrow mapping approach with 3 dots, when using an eyebrow pencil. (See image below to the right)

Start with the corner of your eye, closest to the nose to measure
the starting point of your eyebrow. Place the universal brow pencil vertically from the inner corner of your nose to the inner corner of
your eye... Place a vertical line here indicating the start of your
eyebrow.

Point 2: The Arch: Align the pencil horizontally from the tip of
your nose to the outside center of your pupil or the middle your brow
bone, place a dot. This is the arch & the highest point of your
eyebrow, so keep this in mind when placing the dot.

Point 3: The End: Align the pencil from the outer corner of your nostril to the corner of your brow to place your final mark.

Once you have completed, you want to connect the dots and fill
in the brow with tiny strokes; think of tiny hairs when applying the pencil.

Step 2:Blending

Using brush (located on the other end of the brow pencil) blend the pencil into your brow hairs. IMPORTANT: You want your brows to look natural, drawn on eyebrows are a big no, no.

Step 3: Highlight

Product: Brow Duo Highlighter - This was a great bonus to
get this. I really liked that it has both a highlighter and
concealer! Brow Duo highlighter gives you an instant eyebrow lift.
Perfect for most skin tones. It allows you to highlight your
brow bone, and for those quick needed touch-ups, the universal concealer
comes in quite handy!

How To Use: Apply a line of the highlighter under your brow following your arch as well as above the arch, with two small dots.(see image above)

Step 4: Apply & Blend

Product: Smudge Brush-This synthetic straight edge brush is great for applying creamy products, like the highlighter.

How To Use: Gently blend the highlighter into your skin and the brow line to frame & define!Step 5: Set

Product: Brow Gel Clear - The finishing touch for giving your brows a polished, manicured
look. This gel will
allow you to seal the deal so to speak, by locking in your look, keeping your brows perfectly in place all day.

How To Use: Apply the wand applicator over the pencil creating the perfect brow.

So there you have it ladies, no more guessing! Begin your beautiful brows now...WOW!

One of the most popular hair brushes out there is the Ceramic Barrel Brush. This brush is a one stop shop! Why do I say this? Because the brush retains heat, helping to dry your hair, while curling at the same time. Plus…

Your hair forms to the curl of the brush, helping to create a nice perfect curl.

Regulates Heat: While these barrels do heat up, it is to a safe even level of heat.

Speeds Up Drying Time: The vents (holes) in the brush are a definite bonus as it allows hot air to pass through to the other side of the barrel. Hence drying both sides of the hair.

Helps to eliminate frizz.

Glides through hair easily, so there’s no pulling or worse, getting stuck & knotted up in your hair.

Smooths and silkens the hair.

Similar to when you’re purchasing a flat iron, you want to make sure that you get a ceramic brush that has ceramic plating, not just a ceramic coating!

Infuses the hair with more moisture for a healthier look.

Protects The Hair: Because this brush helps to dry your hair quicker, it is reducing the time you are exposing your hair to the heat from the hair dryer. (Over exposure to this heat can damage or even or fry the hair).

I haven’t done a DIY tip in a while and this one is sure worth the wait! Today, I am excited to share with you the many uses of Tea Tree oil! I have partnered up with Apothecary Extracts to bring you some of the top uses of this very popular essential oil. So, whether you’re looking to use it for cosmetic purposes or for household cleaning, we have you covered. Plus, you can register to win a GIANT 4oz bottle of 100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil (which lasts many people over 1 year) & a Free eBook with 50+ uses/recipes for Tea Tree Oil. See below to enter.

About Tea Tree Oil:
Tea Tree oil is one of the most versatile essential oils out there. The substances found in tea tree oil serve a multitude of purposes. Which is why some consider tea tree oil a miracle ingredient. Furthermore, this oil is best known as a very powerful immune stimulant. It claims to fight all three categories of organisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses). Which is why I love to use it to help to clean and kill germs around the house.

Learn About the Brand & Product
I was able to get a large bottle myself of this 100% pure tea tree oil
and have been a DIY guru to say the least. I did notice one thing on
the bottle, that there is a bottled date on it. Because there are no chemicals added to this, you need to know the shelf life.

The company, Apothecary Extracts was founded in 2013 because, as consumers, they were tired of not knowing what was in the oils. There are so many vendors that dilute their essential oils, or use extraction processes which contaminate the final product. Apothecary Extracts is committed to selling only the purest essential oils, and they have the tests to prove it.

So without further ado, here are just some of the many uses for Tea Tree Oil.

Skin Care Treatments

The antiseptic properties that are in this oil are wonderful for removing excess dirt and toxins from the top layers of the skin.

Note: Right now Apothecary Extract, is only able to ship this product in the USA. Canada
is not yet an option. Nor are any other countries. Contest winners need
to have an Amazon account in order to redeem their prize.

IMPORTANT: Tea Tree Oil is meant only for external use. If you have a known allergy to tea tree oil you should avoid any kind of contact with it.
